13 july. The last writeing in this diary
So it was finally time for Aliz to go to her new home. She will be living fairly close we will get to see eachother quite often which is great! I watched as my mom took a picture of Aliz and her new parents and when they drove away I felt very good about it. I went inside and took it easy for the rest of the day. It has actually been quite a lot of work having puppies and I am now happy to take it easy. Tomorrow we will be on vacation and will not do anything until the middle of August!
Have a nice summer and we will see you in the fall!

8th July
A lot has happened this past week. Last Sunday Aliz suddenly left in a car together with her new mother. But she returned after an hour. She had gone to visit her new home and checked out the backyard to make sure the fence was secure. It’s a nice big yard for her to run around in and she was really tired when she came back. On Monday we were all dewormed again, only two weeks after the last one. We have had lots of visits from both dogs and people in order to get the puppies used to lot of new faces. On Wednesday the vet came to inspect the puppies, give vaccines and put chips in Athoz and Aliz. Aliz had a very hard time standing so the vet feels that she takes after me and has ants in her pants. But the marking and checkup didn’t bother her much. Athoz on the other hand cried a bit when they put the chip in, typical boy!
On Thursday Athoz’ new owners came and took him home with them to Borlange, so now it will probably be quite a while before we see him again. Maybe at a show sometime in the fall. I watched as they left and my mom and dad were worried that I would miss him, but I simply checked behind the couch downstairs to see if he was hiding, when I couldn’t find him I understood that he had left. On Friday my mom’s grandkids came to stay with us for a couple days. It is quite a lot of work having them here since I have to play all their games, but on the other hand they can be quite entertaining. Yesterday and today Aliz’ mom and dad have come to get her to let her run around their big yard. She enjoys going with them, but it will probably be another week before she moves home with them. I have gotten used to her coming and going, so it’s not a big deal. Aliz and I play a lot with eachother and it is actually a lot of fun to have someone to play with whenever I want.

Summary for the period 8 juni-23 Juni 2013.
Den 8 juni. Athoz and Aliz got 8 cousins, too bad they don’t live closer.
Den 9 juni. The puppies get hungry at night so they get some toddler milk from my owner. After a couple minutes of intense play they fall fast asleep again. I have finally stopped breastfeeding,
which is so nice!
The puppies are now registered. The outdoor playpen is wonderful because they play a lot when in it and then sleep so good!
Den 10 juni. Annicka has been here and the puppies got to meet Tindra, they really enjoyed meeting a new dog!
Den 13 juni. Today Annicka was here with Willemo, so I played a lot and the puppies even joined in for a while.
Den 14 juni. The puppies made it up the steps to the yard by themselves!
Den 15 juni. Willemo is here again! My owner makes sure they also get to meet lots of new people, big and small, so they get used to many different faces. Today they went both up and down the
steps to the yard, even though down was a bit scary!
Den 16 juni. Aliz’ future parents were here and got to see how well the puppies run loose around the yard! They are very fast and have a lot of fun! They also now prefer dry food and seem to enjoy
how it feels on their teeth.
Den 20 juni. Aliz managed to get up on the couch and looked so proud when my owner found her, but getting down was still to scary so she had to be lifted down. A half hour later she was on the
other couch and my owner decided she would have to figure out how to get down by herself, and eventually she decided to jump and landed with a (not so graceful) bellyflop!
Over midsummer the puppies were outside almost all day. I often play with them by running incredibly fast around their outdoor playpen. They are starting to get really fast now!
Aliz’ parents were here again. They visit quite often so that she is well acquainted with them when she has to move. The puppies also got to visit with 2 papillons!

Veckorna går med snabba och valparna växer och utvecklas snabbt. Jag inte ammar dem mycket längre, bara på morgonen och kvällen. Då och då kan de få lite extra-När jag stod upp, men för det mesta de äter urvattnat torrfoder och köttfärs.
Min mamma har gjort dem lite lek penna utanför jag kan hoppa in och ut ur, vilket ger mig en stor frihet. Om De tillbringar 3-4 timmar utanför De tenderar att sova resten av dagen.
Jag gillar att spela med dem, men ibland kan de vara ganska grov och Deras tänder är väldigt vassa. Min mamma clips Deras naglar på regelbunden basis, så de är ok.
Aliz 'framtida ägare är här då och då för att Aliz att lära känna henne när det är dags att flytta. Athoz har inte funnit att ägaren ännu men vi söker en thatwill visade honom och hoppas att man snart kommer att uppnås.
Min mamma har lagt en handduk ner innanför dörren och valparna använder den för att kissa för det mesta. Då och då finns det en olycka, men de är bara 5 veckor så som bör förväntas!

Mycket har hänt under den gångna veckan. Min promenad har återgått till normal längd Deras innebörd som theywere innan jag hade mina valpar. Vi behöver lämna tidigt men, vanligtvis mellan 4 eller 5 på morgonen.
21 maj valparna fick smaka lite urvattnade torrfoder och dagen efter att urklippen klor, avmaskning och lite färsk köttfärs! Det smakade så bra! 23 maj valparna börjat leka med varandra och så vidare bita mig!
Bilderna från och med maj 24 och 25 visar hur mycket valparna har vuxit, och idag väger 26 maj Athoz 3000g och 2620g Aliz. Urvattnat torrfoder serveras 4 gånger om dagen, men omvårdnad är alltid bäst "topping på moset."
De hörntänder är så skarp som i och som en nål.

Sorry, the journal entries have been lacking. Here is a summary of what has been happening.
On day 3 and 4 two of the puppies felt life here was way too complicated and they passed peacefully to rainbowland, where they are now playing and happy. This of course made me depressed and I looked for them and ate very little, which caused my milk production to slow. My mom had to help supplement the two remaining puppies for three days. Now I feel better and my milk supply is back to normal and the puppies are eating a lot. The working name for the male is Athoz and the female Aliz. On May 11 Atoz took his first unsteady steps and the day after Aliz tried the same. At the same time their eyes are starting to open. Today Athoz is walking happily, but Aliz feels it is better to throw herself forward. You can now also see their teeth. Everything is happening so fast!

So it was finally time. I was worried for a few days and had to take it easy, something I DO NOT like. Yesterday I started to pick up all the toys and put in the basket. So, I would out and pee and then came a contraction and we went straight into the whelping box. 20 minutes later had the first puppy arrived, a
male, 571 g heavy. Fifteen minutes later, a brother, 523 g Then there was a long pause. Nearly three hours later, a younger sister of 400 g and a quarter hours after her came another brother, 512 g Everyone eats, sleeps, and sound so it is lovely to. Must say that I am a very caring mother, leaving them unlikely to go out and do my needs.

Wow today was a big day. Daisy got 3 male and 1 female.

Today is day 56 of my pregnancy and I am definitely becoming a Heavy weight.
The week has gone by quietly, a couple of small birds to chase in the yard and a
couple of cats lirking in the bushes when we pass by. I am now able to jump
sideways without falling over which proves I am getting used to my big belly. On
Wednesday my mom noticed that my breasts were looking swollen, so now the milk
is starting to come in. Next week I hope that you get to see pictures of my
puppies!

Another week has gone by and I am now in my 8th week. I am no doubt starting
to feel very round around my midsection. A clear sign was when I on Friday met
one of my friends and was going to play with her. Like I always do I got in my
low crawl position and when she comes at me I always jump quickly to the side.
The only thing was this time I was not able to jump, I simply fell over and
rolled to the side. I’m not sure who was more surprised, her or I! But then we
did not play.
My dad has built me a very nice puppy box that I tried out for a bit. Didn’t
it turn out great?!?!

This past week has gone by quietly. There is no more snow to play with and that is probably a good thing because now you can really tell that I am going to have puppies. Within a week I have also become quite the tracking dog (according to my mom) and have found a lot of yummy things to eat along the path. My mom started giving me dry food made for puppies this weekend and I have to say it tasted better than my normal food even though my normal food also has a lot of protein and fat (34/30) to help me keep my weight. So as I said there are no problems to report.

A week has passed since I found out I was pregnant with at least 5 puppies. This week my
food has tasted exceptionally good and I have licked my bowl daily, which has never
happened before!
My mom took some pictures of me resting today. It seems I got a pretty bad hair cut last week,
I don’t think that person was a certified hairdresser! The pictures also show that I have become
a little rounder, not that my waist has completely disappeared, but my curves are not what they
used to be. And I used to have such a nice figure! Oh well, I think there will probably be even
more of a change in the coming weeks.

It’s been a month since we were in Germany. This past week –according
to my mom- I’ve been picky with my food, but that has happened before. We were
in Skane for Easter and on the way home I got sick 3 times.
